Assemble Your League

The 2018 Stan-Lee Cups

Welcome Agents to a celebration of 2018. In 2018, we left behind the Mixed Marvel Arts moniker to become The Fantasy Comic League. We had a record 58 Agents join us in the League, while the industry we love grew alongside us. To celebrate the growth, we made our social media community more involved than ever, with their vote constituting a 3rd voice in our 2018 Year End voting. Our Fantasy Comic League community often wound up being the swing vote or tie breaker needed to bring victory.

Our awards, previously known as the Mixed Marvel Awards, went through a rebranding as well, to become the Stan-Lee Cups, in fond memory of Stan Lee, who passed away in 2018. The competition between creators and titles to nominate for 2018 was as tight as ever. For the first time, there were omissions in the category of television and the amount of mini-series, events, and crossovers lead to us splitting the category in two: Miniseries and Crossover Events. The statistical data is available to see at the bottom of this article, but here is the 2018 Stan-Lee Cup nominees and victors.

2018 Characters Of The Year Nominees: Thanos, Miles Morales, Peter Parker, T’Challa, Jean Grey, and Venom

2018 Character Of The Year: Miles Morales

Mixed Marvel Achievement Award Recipient: Brian Michael Bendis

Congratulations to all our winners and special shout out to our 4 time Stan-Lee Cup recipient Peter Parker (he always was his favorite), our 3 time Star, Rogue, and our Double Cup Holders: Miles, Gambit, Venom, and Donny Cates. It’s been a wild year, full of highs and lows, and I hope we see y’all in the New Year!
